As Strong As We Are United

Today, I had to skip my lunch hour to work with my fourth hour class on filming a submission video for a contest. The prize is a trip to the opening of the Harry Potter theme park in Florida.

They wrote a cute script about why our class is extraordinary. I got the feeling that they thought they had a good chance of winning the contest.

I myself doubt that we'll win, but I was happy to help with the video. There were some odd stipulations in the contest rules. For instance, I have to have a clean criminal record with no felony convictions. Also, the video had to include a full-body shot of me. I tried to wear a flattering outfit and look my best. I did apply lip gloss just before my scenes.

I'm a little worried that the kids will make a gag reel of stupid clips of me and post it on the internet, but these are the risks you have to be willing to take for a chance to win a trip to the Harry Potter theme park. If we win, I'll definitely take Shef. He's obsessed with Harry Potter, just like that fourth hour class.
